Sowerby Cyclo-Cross, Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire
Sunday 26 October 2003

Veteran former national champion Peter Stevenson (left) took the honours at the Sowerby Bradford Olympic/Paul Milne Cyclo-Cross, from talented Junior Ian Stannard (below), with Jody Hamilton third.

The event took place in chilly overcast conditions on a course that was certainly pretty quick after a surprisingly dry autumn in the Pennine hills of West Yorkshire.

With a mixture of gravel roads and bone-dry grassland, the top riders held a high pace more akin to a road race than an off-road event.

At the head of the race, Stevenson always looked to have things under control and had a comfortable gap of 30 seconds at the finish. In turn Stannard, who competed recently at the youth Olympics in Paris, had thirty seconds over Hamilton, who chose to ride a mountain bike.

First female competitor home was Kim Blythe of the Sheffield Phoenix club, a rider more at home perhaps on the track where she is a national champion.

Earlier in the day, the youth race went to Sam Hedges, whilst Rob Simpson took the under 12 category race.
